| Technical term |
Explanation
|
| 1" core Foil |
tube with an inner diameter of 1" |
| 3" core Foil |
tube with an inner diameter of 3"
|
| Carrier thickness |
Thickness of the carrier PET foil in Fm |
| Cooling stage |
The stage in the production process after roller stamping, but before foil release
|
| Flakes |
Lacquer residue that remains after foil release |
| Foil projection |
Total foil width - net width(edge/surface feeding)
|
| Hot stamping |
Transfer technology |
| Release |
The final process in the stamping operation. After a short cooling period, the transferred lacquer layers are separated (released) from the carrier foil and fed to the take-up reel
|
| Rewind cutting |
Use of a rotary circular blade to cut the foil track created between the supply and take-up units |
| Roller stamping die |
A silicon die built into special machines that acts on the bottom side of the carrier foil by means of pressure and temperature. In this way, it determines the transfer width.
|
| Stamping foil |
PET film coated with lacquer layers |
| Stamping pressure |
The pressure that the roller stamping die/stamping wheel applies to the stamping foil
|
| Stamping wheels |
Very similar to a roller stamping die--only narrower because it is used for edges |
| Standard cutting width |
Standard width as used by KURZ |
| Substrate |
The material to be coated |
| Supply unit |
The unit that takes up the foil in roll form and releases it under a controlled tension by means of a brake mechanism
|
| Take-up unit |
Unit that collects (takes up) the spent carrier foil in roll form primarily by means of a rotary motor |
| Transfer technology |
Transfer of lacquer layers from a PET carrier by means of pressure and temperature |
| Unwind cutting |
Blade or rotary blade cutting of the entire foil roll |
